Hi there,
My canon Mv630i Tape cassette loading mechanism is not working right. The carrier which holds the tape cassette rises up ok but the side part does not spring open to allow a cassette to be put in. It waits for a few seconds and then descends to the ready to shoot position.

Canon ZR930 video camera states "remove cassett" but when I go to eject the tape, the part of the camera that encompasses the tape raises up but does not open to allow the tape to be removed. The camera won't do anything witht he tape as far as fastforwarding, recording etc.

My sony ccdfx420 wont accept tapes, but the door will open and close without a tape in it. When i attempt to put a tape in it makes a high pitch noise for a few seconds and pushes the tape out

This problem was posted by someone else but I didn't see an answer....
I'm having the same issue:
"my canon xL1-s will not open to allow me to place the cassete into place, what do i do? basically it opens but where you place the cassette it does not it just comes up and then a few seconds later goes back down"

Its probably due to condensation error or a failed dew sensor. Take the camera to a warm place, turn it on and leave it like that for about 1-2 hours. It should reset itself. ...

Hi,
My Sony DCR-HC32 handycam's tape mechanism is giving me some problem. It ejects and the tape deck opens up properly but after putting a tape and closing it, the tape deck does not go in. I tried with or without tape but it doesn't go in. It is still open.
Can you please suggest how it could be fixed?
Thanks,
Pramod

The cassette cage holding my tape in my Canon ZR65 camcorder will not release the tape. The door is open and the cage tries to move forward or backward (barely) and then stops---won't open up. I dropped my charger for my battery a few days ago---could the battery not be getting enough power to the camera to release the tape? This has never happened before.

You can test the charger using a multimeter (it has +-0.5 volts from voltage written on charger), or go to a local repair shop and have it tested.A more serious problem is if the tape is stuck inside or the release mechanism is broken. In ...

My canon vixia hv30 camcorder is not reading tapes anymore. It rewinds and forwards and reports the tape position but the tape counter does not roll showing only dashes as if the tape is empty. All this started when i put in a cassette in which the tape has somehow become crunched. There was some pushing involved and the camera auto-ejected teh tape a couple of time before i realized that the tape inside was crunched. I then straightened the tape by pulling it partly out and rewinding it manual

First off how long have you owned the camera? It sounds like damage to the recording head has been done. This can only be repaired by a qualified professional. Follow this link to start the repair process through canon. You may also try other indepe ...

When I insert the cassette into the camera, I hear noise like it is setting up, but when I press play or record, whether I'm in the VCR mode or the Camera mode, it whirrs for a moment, then stops. When I open the camera to take the tape out, sometimes the tape is hanging out of the cassette, sometimes it's not.
Also the power light blicks twice quickly.
Thanks.

\015\012The tape hangs out of the cassette which means that one of the wheels that move the tape or one of the motor moving the wheels is gone weak or is faulty.the power light blinking quickly also indicates that the motor part or wheel part i ...

A tape was stuck in the handycam in the vcr mode playback.I took it out by opening it up.Now the carriage goes down properly.When a tape is inserted,the carriage goes down,and it seems as though the tape is loaded,but within seconds the eject symbol comes up in the led viewfinder and the tape is ejected.Why won't it go in to playback mode?

Black screen I got a brand new DSC-650 and when I put it on, all i am getting is a black screen. Sometimes when i put it on, the power just shuts off, leaving the lens opened. I have to take out the batteries and put them back in and wait until a day past before putting it on so that the lens could close in back. I need help!!!! Its irritating me.

Sony CCd FX 300 E Video 8 camera - tape holder opens and closes Ok when empty.. when I put a tape in, the right way... always... the tape holder won't close and load tape. Problem just started suddenly recently.

Samsung video camera model VP-A33. The chamber that holds the cassette will open and shut perfectly without a cassette in it, but putting a cassette in the chamber won't relocate back into the camera and resists any attempts to do so.

Hubby put our daughter's Nikon Cool Pix in his pocket, bent over and now the lens cover is stuck partly open, and won't close all the way. The camera says "lens error". I have tried to close and open the cover, it just springs back to the partly opened position. I haven't seen this particular problem covered yet. What now?

This is such a common fault that I hope you don't mind me pasting my stock generic answer below. No point in reinventing the wheel!Stuck lenses are probably the most common \015\012reason that compact digital ...

After you put in the tape and push the record button it will start recording for 3 to 4 seconds. I did notice that the drive motor as you look through window to see the tape moving. The tape seems to be jerking and not moving at an even speed. Does anyone have an idea on whats wrong with it or better yet how to repair the problem. Thank you for help and time with this.

Well you said there was a tape with it and that you could see it moving.\015\012But, you have it under Digital Cameras which generally use flash media, nowadays.\015\012Some older camcorders used tape.\015\012\015\012I think t ...

Canon Powershot A610 digital camera--LCD screen shows icons, but otherwise is blank--there is no visible movement in the lens when I take a picture without flash--have tried setting it on TV setting and taking a picture, then opening the battery cover for a few seconds after waiting 7 seconds or so, but no images on the LCD except the camera's icons--ideas? probably a stuck shutter, or is it still possibly the CCD sensor even though there's no visible movement in the lens? Ideas? Thanks!

Much more likely that it's a stuck shutter, especially for your model camera. How many tries did you give the fix? Some people stated that it took at least 15 repeated tries before the shutter opened:\015\012\015\012\015\012 ...

From your question, it sounds like you are trying to view a video which has already been recorded on. If that is correct, the video cassette may need to be rewound to the beginning of the tape, ...

Sony HDR-HC3E error code C31 22 and message 'reinsert cassete'. I've reinserted cassette, tried another new cassette, checked for dirt etc. It was working the day before, it will record but on playback the error code and message appear, and tape stops. It will play last 2 seconds of recorded video. I've removed power, battery, pressed reset. No mechanical damage. What is causing it?

Fuji S5000 camera problem....The battery door will not latch because the cheap plastic retaining nipples inside the battery box have worn down/or broken. Tape will not even hold door closed! The retainers on the hinged door are fine (naturally it's the body!) The retainers don't meet each other as one slides the door closed and the spring loading makes the door pop open. Can a person use machine screws and latches or what??? (Velcro?...probably like tape that won't hold)

I have a Polaroid Impulse QPS and it won't turn on anymore. Usually to take photos I open the flash and a little red light comes on next to the button that you press to take a picture. In a couple seconds it turns to green and I can take the picture, but all of a sudden the light stopped going on at all. so when I press the button, nothing happens. I was thinking maybe it's a battery problem, but I can't figure out where to put batteris in the camera! I got it used, so I've never done it be

My DZ-MV730E is malfunctioning. I have TDK DVD-R 1-2x 1.4gb disc in.

PROBLEM: The camera does not eject disc. I put charged battery on, press disc eject button, the indicator light comes on once for a half a second, there is a faint "click" but no eject motor noise and the disc cover does not open.
When I turn the camera ON, I
